Impacts of tillage practices on soil carbon stocks in the US corn-soybean cropping system during 1998 to 2016

Impacts of tillage practices on soil carbon stocks in the US corn-soybean cropping system during 1998 to 2016

Tillage alters the thermal and wetness conditions in soil, which facilitates soil organic matter oxidation and water transportation, leading to rapid depletion of soil carbon (C). Little is known about tillage intensity change (TIC) and its impacts in the US corn-soybean rotation system over the pas...
